Septic complications and hospital admissions after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy: incidence rates and outcomes in 913 consecutive biopsies.
This is an excerpt from the content: Editors, Prostate cancer is the third most common cause of cancer death in Europe [1]. Transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSB) is a cornerstone procedure for its diagnosis. When adequately indicated and performed, TRUSB is reliable, not too inconvenient for the patients and well-tolerated [2]. The most common complications are hematuria, hematochezia, hemoejaculate and infections. To prevent infectious complications of TRUSB, routine prophylaxis is recommended by the leading urological associations [3, 4]. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics are commonly used in this setting due to their antimicrobial spectrum and high concentrations attained in the prostatic tissue [5]. Here, we report on incidence of prostate biopsy-related septic complications in a prospective series of consecutive patients submitted to TRUSB at General Hospital Varaždin, Croatia, between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2013.
